HSE quality care metrics research study update
 |
Improving the quality of nursing and midwifery care is a key priority. To support nurses and midwives to measure, monitor and improve care, the HSE Office of Nursing and Midwifery Services have commenced an exciting programme of research to identify the specific and relevant quality care-metrics for acute hospital care, midwifery, children's, community and public health nursing, mental health and intellectual disability nursing.
The study is co-ordinated through the Nursing & Midwifery Planning and Development Units and is academically supported by three universities - University College Dublin, University of Limerick and the National University of Ireland Galway. The participation of nurses and midwives in the research is vital to its success. In the oncoming weeks you will be requested to advise the researchers on what you feel are the important aspects of our care delivery that contributes to a quality and safe care experience for patients, clients, families and carers. The research team will be aiming to encourage nurses and midwives of all grades across all fields and disciplines to engage in the online survey. Check out posters in your workplace. Further information on the research study is available from the Nursing & Midwifery Planning and Development Units or by contacting anne.gallen@hse.ie.
